It might just be the most timely one-woman show we can imagine coming across on International Women鈥檚 Day.
This month, UBC BFA Acting alumna Joylyn Secunda returns to campus with her 鈥渃omic exploration of asexuality,鈥� . (The word yoni, for the XYs among us, is the Sanskrit word for the vulva as a sacred space.)
According to the press release, 鈥淭he Moaning Yoni is like a millennial Alice in Wonderland, but instead of tripping down the rabbit hole, she slips headfirst into her own vagina.鈥�
Secunda, who graduated from UBC in 2016, has already toured the show to the Toronto Fringe and Victoria Fringe.
Exploring 鈥渢he intersection of gender, sexuality, and spirituality through physical comedy, song, dance and switching seamlessly between 18 different characters,鈥� the plot follows a college student鈥檚 attempts to fit in. That is until 鈥渉er anthropomorphic vagina takes over her mind in a yoni-healing circle.鈥�
鈥淔rom Tinder to Tantra they cross a sexual battlefield in a psychedelic journey.鈥� No kidding.
The Moaning Yoni runs at UBC鈥檚 Dorothy Somerset Theatre. Tickets are $10, cash only at the door. This show contains mature language and sexual themes. Rated 18+.
